- I Saizou’s determination and strong desire to protect Isanami no matter what.

- Poor Isanami . It was very hard for her to return to the temple and witness all of the damage and it was even harder to find out that the cause why the temple was destroyed and her friends were killed was her hairpin. It wasn’t her fault but it is very understandable why she felt guilty about it. And maybe I’m very wrong…but I have a crazy theory that Isanami is a reincarnation of deity whose soul is inside the jewel of the hairpin.

- Kamanosuke’s appearance was a nice surprise. I wasn’t expecting him to appear in this episode at all. I couldn’t help but LOL when he blushed after hearing Saizou say he would play with him until he cries. Kamanosuke sure has a strange crush on Saizou.

- Isanami was kidnapped by Masa…something, the guy who looks like Sesshomaru from Inuyasha. I’m very curious about that new “tono”, he looks like an interesting character.

- The fights were cool, and I did like the little combo between Saizou and Kamanosuke vs. Masked guy.

- I’m looking forward to the next episode, although it seems they will alter a few things from the manga.

Re: Brave 10

Well…for me it’s not a matter of them having competition or not, I ship them because I think they make a cute couple and I like their interactions and the effect that Isanami has/had on Saizou.

Wait.. I take that back... They HAVE competition. Saizou X Kamanosuke.

But no.. I still root for Saizou X Isanami.

She must have thought: what? all of this is just because of my hairpin??

Well, it must sound pretty outrageous that many people are killed for that simple thing... but.. that's not a usual hairpin anyway.
I wonder if she actually knows the importance of her hairpin.

He's just a masochist.. and a gay, I think.

looks like Sesshoumaru? I don't think they are that similar.
I wonder if he's a protagonist or antagonist?

- Now we can understand why Saizou doesn’t like tonos and why he decided to become an assassin. It was really sad what happened to Saizou’s friend.

- I get that Masamune wants to change the world by creating chaos and so that as a result of said chaos he is able to reconstruct the world as he wishes to…but…I don’t quite understand the reason behind his desire to do that…is it just the sheer desire for power? Is it that he wants to become like a god?

- I really liked the conversation between Anastacia and Isanami. I was glad Anastacia was able to convince Isanami to return to Ueda and that also was able to make her realize that she was taking the easy way out by playing the role of the pitiful heroine. However, I thought it was just too easy the way in which Anastacia and Sasuke rescued Isanami…or maybe it wasn’t that it was too easy but that both Anastacia and Sasuke are both great ninjas.

- I loved the conversation/fight between Sasuke and Saizou. Sasuke was extremely cool during those scenes.

- I’m really curious about what it said on that paper that Rokuro wrote after extracting the information from Saizou’s eye….it must have been something extremely important judging by Sanada’s reaction to it.

- I’m enjoying the OST of this series very much and I can’t wait for it to come out.

I don’t think she knows the importance of her hairpin…nor the significance of her being the one to whom said hairpin was given to…

Well... She'll find out sooner or later.

Not the main antagonist though.. I think.

The reason somehow seems too simple to me. Or it's just me (who reads too many complicated stories). Anyway...teenager Saizou.
*nosebleed* Is it just me or the younger Saizou is more handsome?

He sounds crazy to me.

Go, Anastacia!!!
She must read a lot of stories to be so genre savvy... But I love her style. I always hate pitiful heroine and I cheer Anastacia for her awesomeness in telling Isanami such words. Men just can't be depended on.

It seems that now they aren't as hostile as they used to.

Yep. Something dangerous, maybe.

- Isanami’s brother is an interesting addition to the Braves team. And the interactions between Isanami and her brother were pretty funny.

- I’m beginning to like the idea of Yukimura x Ana, I think they would make an interesting couple.

- The onsen scene was great, both for the fanservice (Saizou ) and because of Ana getting mad and freezing Sanada and Isanami’s brother.

- Kamanosuke was cute near the end of the episode. It was kind of adorable seeing him experience his feelings for Saizou and I think it’s not only a crush now, I think Kamanosuke is falling in love with Saizou.

Re: Brave 10

Well, he did say that he had come to the conclusion that Sinto and Buddhist are the same thing; so maybe he believes that all religions are the same…
In fact, he thought of himself as some sort of Buddha reincarnation…

Re: Brave 10

Judging by the OP, I do think he is the main antagonist, although I think Saizou’s rival and the one he will have to fight and defeat is that guy masked …I think Hanzo was his name…

I see.

But still... it is still too short and simple for a dark past. There must be something more.

Yep.

Yep. He gives name to his weapon... Oh, and he actually wept. Without his weapon in fit condition, like Saizou said, he was done for.

Yeah.. Isanami is his weakness. And Isanami doesn't seem that attached to his brother like his brother is attached to her.

They often partner in fights, right?

Geez, a lot of fanservice. I feel a bit uncomfortable (since actually I never like to see that much skin) but oh.. whatever.

Everyone seems to question Kamanosuke's sex. It seems more funny because Saizou doesn't realize his action's effect on Kamanosuke.

Re: Brave 10

I guess you are right; there must be something else…maybe it has to do with his life as an assassin.

We'll find out sooner or later, I guess.

Well, he left her.. It's not Isanami's fault that she finds someone else to protect her... I cant believe that he looked quite handsome in his youth. :P

Originally Posted by destiny4ever

I can't really see it... Sasuke is too boyish for Ana (or Ana is too womanly for Sasuke)... Sasuke is more fitting with Isanami (they both look and act younger than they look) though unfortunately for Sasuke, Isanami already has someone.

Haha, don't mind me. Fanservice never really gives me any "service".

Originally Posted by destiny4ever

Yes, Saizou is completely oblivious to Kamanosuke’s feelings for him…just like Isanami is completely oblivious to Sasuke’s feelings for her.

We have dense couple here...

But at least Miroku is only a perverted monk but this monk (why do I keep forgetting his name?) is a different matter altogether. I can't even say that he is a monk.

Re: Brave 10

True, true. ^^ Moreover, we can't blame Isanami for getting so close to Saizou, she couldn’t help it since Saizou is

Mmmm…I think you are a bit confused , Yukimura is Sanada…the tono, the one who went to peek at Ana…I’m not a fan of Sasuke x Ana because of the same reasons you explained….I’m a fan of Sasuke’s one-sided love for Isanami.

Well…Miroku wasn’t very monk-like either, but I kind of get where you are coming from. Isanami’s brother is as much a monk as Isanami is a priestess.

Or she is just clingy.

Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I tend to mix up characters' names if there are too many characters to remember. I even mixed up Hakuouki characters' names before...

Ahahaha... I even forget that Isanami is a priestess.. She doesn't act like one too...
